Message Throwing Intermediate Event

Message Throwing Intermediate Events are events that can transmit messages that include Process Data to external systems in the middle of the execution of a Process. 
  • Process Data output can be created by sending a message
  • Messages can be sent by HTTP request and by email
  • By email, Process Data can be embedded into a fixed format and sent
  • By HTTP request, it is necessary to prepare a system (URL) for receiving the message
Here we explain the specifications of Message Throwing Intermediate Events using HTTP request.

Basic Specifications

    • Method: POST
    • Process Data value is sent using multipart/form-data
